Meghan Markle reportedly asked for free handbags from Victoria Beckham before finally distancing herself from the fashion icon, as detailed in Tom Bower’s new biography, The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power. The book explores the complex relationship between the Beckhams and the Sussexes, revealing the sources of their fallout.
Bower writes that the Duchess of Sussex admired Victoria Beckham and aspired to emulate her style. According to him, while Meghan was engaged to Prince Harry, she asked Victoria for clothes and gift bags. However, this request was rejected by the Palace, citing rules against accepting free gifts. The biography also claims that Meghan felt “irritated” when she learned that Victoria Beckham had far more wealth than her.
The relationship between the two high-profile families began to show signs of strain in 2018. Despite being invited to Harry and Meghan’s wedding, the Beckhams were not included in the wedding dinner. The Sussexes were not invited to Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding, although Prince William and Kate Middleton were on the guest list. Bower’s book, published on June 20, suggests Meghan saw herself as higher up the social hierarchy than the Beckhams.
It has recently been announced that Meghan Markle is in trouble as she is facing financial problems. According to sources close to her it is thought that she is on the verge of losing everything in 2025. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has ‘given voice’ to these claims. According to ‘OK’, he kicked things off by referencing all the projects the couple took on after leaving the Royal Family, and even highlighted his current position.
